The opening and closing mouth is so cute! Let me introduce a fun idea for a chompy little fish.

This time, let’s make an adorable fish with a mouth that opens and closes using origami! You’ll need origami paper, round stickers, a permanent marker, and so on.

Solid-color origami looks lovely, but using your favorite patterns or holographic origami will give your fish extra personality.

Fishing made with origami

[Handmade Toy] Easy with Origami! Fishing 🎣✨ / Perfect for Children's Summer Festival Events♪

Let’s make and play! Here are some ideas for a fishing game made with origami.

When you think of summer, many people probably imagine goldfish scooping at summer festivals, right? On scorching days when it’s hard to go outside, how about enjoying a pretend fishing game indoors? You’ll need origami paper, round stickers, straws, a pen, cellophane tape, and scissors.

When making the fish, the key is to cut the tail into a heart shape! It also sounds fun to freely decorate the fish you make out of origami.
